Can it be used for repelling? (150 lbs)
2800
Yes it is rated for 550pounds, but I would find it difficult to hold and stop because of small diameter. I made brackets and gun slings out of it. And took one apart in the field to tie together my body armor strap.mostly emergency type utility stuff.

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

I'm sure if you braided several equal length brands together to make a rope it would work more comfortably than one single strand; though the single strand would hold your weight at cost of comfort - which could result in a fall. Thick Knots on a single strand would be okay for climbing or lowering short distances.

I would not use for repelling. The diameter is too small and I would not trust it with my life. It might be strong enough but the word is "MIGHT"

I am not sure but I don't think so. It is very strong, but very thin. There must be ratings for that kind of thing, but just one strand is probably not enough to use to repel.

While the cord does have a 550lb test strength, and your weight is only 150lbs you should theoretically be able to use this cord for repelling. The reason i say "theoretically" is because I have never personally tested this cord for repelling. However, You shouldn't have a problem. My only concern would be in case of a fall with the velocity of your weight being applied to the cord would it snap? I would suggest you research the testing on this cord. Another thing to think about is the fact that although the cord is very strong it is also very thin. Will it fray too quickly on stone?Hope this helps!

Probably yes, but depends a lot on your weight. Up to 140 pounds likely very good. I will try it!

I've loaded them up plenty of times with my Iron Master quick lock dumbbells with the 120lb add on kit and they're just fine. I'm not strong enough for 150 :).

It was suppose to hold quite a bit, but mine failed within a week. It kept going down and the pump would not work properly. I do not recommend for someone over 150 lbs.

No, this bouncer is meant for smaller children and has a weight limit of 100 lbs per person. Someone 150 lbs would be to heavy for this bouncer.

I am not sure if it can but I would say if I was looking to move around that kind of weight I would look into a more sturdy rack that weighs more and has the ability to be bolted down if needed. This rack moves around even when using 200lbs and while nothing has been dented the few times I have dropped weights on it I think 800+ lbs might cause some damage to the safety bars in my opinion.

Build his medium stiffness and I would not use it for any sort of repelling. It is an okay duty belt but I would only use it for that.

That's not how we intend to use it and in our windy conditions wouldn't try it. I would be curious how effective weights are but can't answer that for you.

I believe it is "rated" at 150lbs. It's pretty big! So it should take 90lbs no problem.

I've never tried, but would not use it for that. It's designed to pull up archery equipment such as a bow at maybe 4-8 lbs. Not designed for people...

Well, I certainly didn't put that much weight on it, but I'm fairly certain that you would be fine. I would assume that the 150 lbs. would be spread out across the shelf and not just 150 lbs. directly in the middle. Note: The sides are going to be stronger because of the side supports.

I am sure it can handle to 130lbs, but 150lbs it's something that you have to take the chance.But it's very sturdy built and very strong.

It is pretty sturdy but I don't think its built for 150 lbs on just the right side of it. If the weight was balanced I would say yes.

I believe it would, as when testing it, I pushed down with my hands and it worked...I'm sure I wasn't pressing even 100 lbs. My mother is 135 lb and it works great.

It is not for that purpose. I would say no it won't prevent a climber from climbing

Hi - this is not designed to pull anyone on a land board. It's purpose is for learning to fly kites/practice for kiteboarding. I've been using this kite for a few years and if it was blowing 15kts or more might be fun to try a land board with it. It's great for practice, but at 185lbs I've never been lifted.

I would say no. Although it could. Think of it as a tightrope. Could be dangerous, but could be fun with a lot of supervision
